“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Stupak took a dive, and rightfully slinks away in shame

As predicted, the loathsome Bart Stupak is running away now that he's betrayed his constituency and the American people. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who played a central role in the health reform fight as the leader of anti-abortion Democrats, announced Friday afternoon that he will not run for reelection, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Without Stupak on the ballot, the seat becomes an immediate pickup opportunity for Republicans.

If only we had a functioning media that cares about political corruption, maybe we'd find out what he got in return for his vote.

Here's the contemptible Stupak responding to the question, "So Bart, just how tall is the stack of cash Obama promised you in exchange for your vote on health care"?
